Appreciating poetic imagery means understanding the author's thoughts and feelings and the social significance of poetry by analyzing the personality characteristics of poetic imagery.
(1) Pay attention to the color (literal and implicit) of the image. Color conveys the poet's different emotional experiences.
Warm colors-warm, lively, positive and high-spirited; Cool colors-apathy, depression, loneliness and desolation. For example, "Two orioles sing green willows and a row of egrets soar into the sky" (Du Fu's quatrains), and the four distinct colors of "yellow, green, white and blue" in the poem are intertwined into a beautiful picture, conveying a very happy mood.
(2) Through the combination of dynamic and static, explore the poetic realm and convey emotions. Such as: "people are idle, osmanthus flowers fall, and the night is quiet and the mountains are empty. When the moon comes out, it surprises the birds and sounds into the spring stream. " (Wang Wei's Bird Watching Creek) The dynamic scenery of "Flowers fall from the moon and birds sing" in the poem not only makes the poem look full of vitality, but also highlights the tranquility of "Spring Creek".
(3) The imagery of poetry is sometimes associated with national history and culture, traditional customs, lifestyle and psychological characteristics, and is endowed with some special meanings. When we appreciate them, we should give priority to these symbolic special images.
2. Appreciate the language of poetry
(1) memorize common terms, such as: accurate, vivid, vivid, concise, incisive, concise, bright, fresh, meaningful, novel, beautiful, gorgeous, beautiful, subtle, simple and chic.
(2) Pay attention to "poetic eyes" ("Refined Words")
Such as: "the branches of red apricots are full of spring"; "Spring Breeze and Green Jiang Nanan"; "The steps are dyed red by the green grass in spring, and birds are chirping happily under the leaves."
"The shadows are shallow, and the dusk floats lightly." -Plum blossoms are thin, fragrant and vivid.
"Why do Qiangdi complain about willow trees? The spring breeze is just Yumen Pass. " -Obviously personification is used, which is not only the love in the song, but also the heart of the piper.
"Petals fall like tears, and lonely birds sing their sorrows."-Fresh words highlight the poet's inner pain.
(3) Pay attention to "refining sentences"
Because of the limitation of the length and rhyme of poems or the need of rhetoric, poets often treat poems specially, so we must master some grammatical knowledge of ancient poems in order to understand and appreciate them.
3. Appreciate the expressive skills of poetry.
(1) expression skills:
Express your will by holding things, blending scenes, reasoning, associating, imagining, rendering, comparing, setting off, combining reality with reality, combining static and dynamic, combining before and after, expressing one's mind directly, expressing one's will through the ancient times, satirizing modern people, suppressing first and then promoting.
(2) Rhetoric:
Metaphor, analogy, metonymy, duality, exaggeration, symbol, contrast, contrast, pun, rhetorical question, irony, synaesthesia, intertextuality, allusions, translation, overlapping, etc.
